Lines from Rumi

~A lover has four streams inside, of water, wine, honey, and milk.
~Those who love fire fall in the fire.
~Sometimes lovers take vows of silence.
~You keep me away with your arm, but the keeping away is pulling me in.
~To praise is to praise how one surrenders to the emptiness.
~There is an ocean inside surging with praise for you, but I close my eyes, hoping you will talk.
~There is no way into presence, except through a love exchange.
~Anything born in spring dies in fall, but love is not seasonal.
~Only love has power over lovers.  Death has none.
